On-line pre-registration is even more important this year as we will have a new “tryout number” procedure in place with clear pre-assigned numbers on all the players. Pre-registration is also the only way we can send out immediate roster spot offers at the conclusion of the tryout session.

2) Every player should try out in their actual birth-year tryout group.

This is the only way we will be able to get a full picture of the true breadth and depth of the talent pool in that birth-year group. However, this does not mean that a player cannot be asked to play up. These are decisions that head coaches and directors will make based on the individual needs and abilities of players and teams.
